yeh it does turn the pressure higher- lol- well i was soo thankful he started me on it- someone asked about ritlin -i think this is diff- it sure made ne more alert about things around me.
I thought it was for alzheimers disease ???? my in-laws were on it in the latter stages of their life.... glad to hear it helps here too, cause we all could use some help with the memory things, especially if we are over the 50ish hump....lol

WOW, I'm glad you guys brought this up. I had no idea that Aricept worked that way. Does it give you a lift too----you know like ritalin?

Hey, I took Aricept for five months to get over some cog fog. It was amazing, and kinda reassuring. I started with some samples, and noticed a difference immediately - I could follow directions, count change, remember conversations... Every time I ran out, I would wait a day or so and see if I noticed a difference. After five months, I reached a point where I felt normal without the Aricept - yay!
I highly recommend it. I guess the question is at this point - would I have gotten over the cog fog without the Aricept? Or did it help me form new pathways in the brain?
